"The intelligence was as clear as any intelligence I've ever seen and I've been in this business a long time. ... When you had intelligence assessments that said Saddam Hussein has reconstituted his biological and chemical weapons and could reconstitute his nuclear weapon in a year if he got foreign assistance — by the end of the decade if he didn't — I've actually never seen clearer indications than that."

Other side: why does everything need to be watered down, emotionless, PR speak?

There's lots of ways to use language expressively without swearing.

There are a lot of ways to express yourself without referring to kittens, too. But when appropriate, one should feel free to refer to kittens.

>If founders from elsewhere want to pay taxes and create jobs in the US, we should let them.

Spot on.

>This is just a start. We are also in need of broad-based immigration reform, and I believe more immigrants will help our country.

This is really what needs to happen. Shameless plug, I'm on the code squad at http://fwd.us and this is what we're trying to do.

I think Sam is doing great work advocating to bring more founders here to the U.S.

Does this have to do with the size of the country? 2 day shipments have to be easier to do within Italy than the continental United States.

I stopped pirating music the day I got spotify premium, if that's worth anything to this discussion.

I can back Krish up as a talented dev.

Net neutrality is dead. The FCC has failed us.

You're aware Jan, the CEO and other founder, is a Ukrainian immigrant, right?

My point was more that he was here, is good enough to get past all of the phone screens, probably did pretty well in person, but was passed over. My thinking is more that large companies with many open positions might want to consider the person for another position at least.

In 2007 Facebook was not in the club of "large companies with many open positions", just another startup on University Avenue with some series B in the bag.

...and therefore would have even more of an incentive to hire local.

> 2) NetFlix, Amazon Prime et al will become really popular as a result of all the customers saying "FU ComcastWarner"

Not when they're direct competitors to Comcast, Comcast is the only ISP for most people, and Comcast can legally charge Netflix et al out of the market.

How could this not be considered a monopoly over the majority of the US?

timewarner by its own is a monopoly. i dont think anything will change. I already pay 55 bucks for crappy 15 up 1 down speed.

Do you mean 15 down 1 up?
